I was telling Will last night that it's not so much about having them gone (although, after all summer together, it will be a weird change), but more about not being their main caregiver anymore. As a stay-at-home-mom, I've been with Owen since the day he was born, but as of today, for the first time...he'll be under the care of his teacher for 6 & 1/2 hours a day, 5 days a week.

Ok, I better stop...I'm getting emotional already!

Speaking of their teachers though, they both got who we wanted for them! So that's a great feeling!

Will and I will be helping out at the school today with the kindergartener's during lunch (so at least I will get to see Owen and how he's doing!) while Ellison has a playdate with two of her favorite friends. After that, I'll be painting - and I promise to update with better pics!
